Before I Chicken Out… December 22, 2006

I am going to write a novel during the month of January.  A 50,000 word novel.  In 31 days.

There is a program called NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) and every November they challenge people to write a novel in 30 days.  I’m taking the concept and holding my own NaNoWriMo in January.  Because I missed it in November and I don’t want to wait until next November.  The point of the exercise is to get the words flowing, get in the habit of writing, and just go for it.  You don’t have to write anything brilliant.  You just have to write.

I love to write and I’ve had an idea for a novel for a while and I’ve decided that THE TIME HAS COME.  So I’m doing it.

Please ask me how it’s going.  If you ask me I’ll have to answer and I don’t want to answer “Not so well.”  So it’ll make me do it.  I’ll also maybe not promising anything post some excerpts if I write anything that approaches readable.  Maybe.

So stay tuned to see how it goes.  I could use the support!
